„Dawson ace? Dawson? Ace?"
„Yes char, Dawson ace." Henry blankly looked foreward.
„Tell me everything!"
„There is not much to tell. She seems to be really on her own. Didn't talk a lot, but she gave us this thing." ray lifted up the chip with ‚DA' on it and showed it Schwoz.
„What is this?"
„She said we should tap it four times and it would send her our location or something"
„High technology, she must be really creative, or well, handy" Schwoz mumbled.
„We should test it!" Henry mentioned over enthusiastic.
„Of course, so she knows where the man cave is."
„Alright I'm just saying."
„But you should try it. Just go somewhere else and try it."
~~
„Mom! Mom!" y/n yelled as she entered her house. Her mother was downstairs in the basement, looking around what she could improve. She came running upstairs as she heard the urgency in her daughters voice.
„Darling, what happened?"
„Captain man and kid danger happened." she angrily stated. When she noticed her moms expression, she elaborated the story.
„You know the call that went in because of two men that robbed this one restaurant? One of them had mad combat skills, but I was about to win when kid danger and captain man distracted me! Dude smashed a whole chair on me." y/n lifted her shirt, a big blue bruise was forming already. Her mom was shocked at the image and quickly laid her hand on it. Her daughter flinched at the sudden contact but calmed down when she felt vibrations moving through her body.
„Now rest, this should be gone in a few hours."
~~
„Hey char, did you do the homework?" y/n asked her friend as they were both sitting in music. The girls and the rest of the class were supposed to write a little melody down, that reminded them of a certain memory. The theme that they were discussing at them moment was musics connections to emotions.
„Yeah, wrote down a-" she suddenly stopped as she remembered the the melody actually reminds her of the man cave. „A- a melody that reminds me of my 14th birthday party!"
„Wait, that's so cool! Mine reminds me of my 10th! This song was playing in the background while my mom and my brother forced me to dance with them." she laughed. After a while their talk silenced. „Do you know why Henry isn't in school today?"
„Uh.." they were both in the man cave, figuring out how to properly contact y/n's alter Ego. Schwotz in the meanwhile was about to figure out how the chip works and if it could work the other way around, maybe he could figure out her location.
„He didn't feel so good today, he stayed home."
„Weird, I saw him leaving his house when I woke up. Well, it's none of my business anyway so, I wanted to ask what you and jasper are doing after school."
„I don't have anything planned, today's my free day! Did you have something in mind?"
„Today's Friday, my mom is not at home today and tomorrow, she's visiting my aunt over the weekend. Sleepover?"
„Oh yeah definitely ! Don't you want to ask Henry too?"
„I thought he was sick?"
„Ou- yeah you're probably right. Sure, we can ask Jasper." the class already ended so they stepped out and waited infront of the room where Jasper had art class.
„Hey Jasper do you want to sleep over at my place? Me, Charlotte and you."
„Of course! Our first sleepover!"
~~
„So what do you want to do?"
„Let's watch a movie!" Charlotte offered.
Y/n pulled out her projector and projected the movie of their choice, Tag. That was one of y/n's comfort Movies, it's always funny to watch it.
„Guys are you hungry or thirsty? My mom made homemade pasta before she left if you want."
„Yes!" jasper happily answered.
„Aight, let me grab three portions from downstairs."
The host opened her door and walked down the stairs to grab the food. In the meanwhile Charlotte was walking around in y/n's room, searching for pictures and everything just to know her friend a little more. She felt guilty for suspecting her to be a criminal without any real proof.
Jasper looked at his friend and decided to do the same. He fidged his hand through her bookshelf and pulled one book out after another, reading the little summary on the back.
„She really loves mysteries."
„What?" Charlotte wondered confused, not looking at what jasper was doing.
„Her books!" he turned towards her as Charlotte did the same.
„Wait I have read this book too!" the short girl walked over to the bookshelf and took the book out of jaspers hand.
She opened it to read the first page again when she noticed something. 'property of Charles y/l/n'.
„Who's Charles?" jasper wondered. He was looking into the Book with Charlotte.
„She mentioned that she had a brother, maybe this book belonged to him originally?"
„Makes sense" jaspers hand pulled out more books and opened them, they all have the same name written on it, Charles y/l/n. When he took the book called ‚like you like me' something fell out of it, but Jasper was so distracted from the book cover, that he didn't even notice.
„Look!" Charlotte pointed at it and kneeled down to take a closer look. Two teenagers were posing with big smiles on their face. The guy was clearly a few years older, yet their face structures looked similar. The curly haired boy recognized the girl as a younger version of y/n, the other persons face was unknown to him.
„That must be charles." he said.
„Okay, one plate for jasper, this one's for char and- wait let me get the drinks." y/n came back inside but ran out again as she realized that she forgot something. She didn't even notice that her friends hid the picture behind their backs.
„I wonder why she has no pictures in here hanging with her brother. There's just her and her mother"
„Just ask her Charlotte"
„No, that would be weird"
„But you clearly want to know. I don't think she has any problems with answering that question for you."
„Maybe later."
„Okay guys. I have Famta, Slite, Coda Cola and Good ol' water."
„I'll take Slite."
„For me too!"
Y/n sat on her bed while the other two positioned themselves on the couch. While eating the food, Charlotte got an idea of a game that they could play while eating.
„Did you know that I just ordered a brœkoclk bucket from Europe? They only have three of those!"
„Wait, I Heard- of this bucket, it's supposedly worth 2000€."
„Yeah it is and i got it For only $35. Contacts and all this-"
„Okayyyy," Charlotte interrupted „Are you guys familiar with the game put a finger down?"
„Of course" both of her friends replied.
„Okay, jasper you go first."
„Uhm, put a finger down if you have ever addressed a mistake...made by a teacher"
Everyone lowered their index finger.
„Alright alright, starting off easy I see....okay I go next. Put a finger down if you have cheated in a test and were caught." and again, jasper lowered his finger.
„Put a finger down if you ever had contact with a superhero." all of them lowered a finger. „Cool! Who was it?" Charlotte quizzed. She tried to get the truth out of y/n.
„Captain man, and kid danger." Jasper casually answered.
„Captain man, kid danger and incognito."
„Who is incognito?" jasper wondered even tho he knew.
„The hero from my- who I once met....uh... during vacation. He was cool. But he mysteriously disappeared a while ago."
„Woah!" y/n smiled at Jaspers reaction.
'Why is she lying?' Charlotte thought.
‚maybe she saw him in the news' y/n thought.
„And where did you know captain man and kid danger from?" jasper asked again, out of pure curiosity.
„Met them in a park during a walk."
„What a coincidence" jasper laughed, knowing well how they met.
~~
In the meanwhile, Henry, ray and schwotz sat in their man cave, grumbling about when to contact Dawson ace. There was a new vigilante in town, and they didn't like that. And how did ace even receive a call from the cops earlier then they did. No, wait, she couldn't have received a call since no one knew about her. But how did she arrive earlier than them?
„So what is the plan?" Schwoz sat next to ray.
"And where is char?" Ray wondered.
"I don't know, I could call her?" Henry offered. The other two men nodded at his idea and Henry started to press buttons on his smart watch.
„So, we only know each other for a few weeks and this is our first sleep over and-" Jasper trailed.
„Describe your most embarrassing experience in three words."
„What?" Charlotte laughed at the unexpected question. But before he could answer, her wrist watch started making weird noises.
After three minutes she started to hit it with her hand, trying desperately to hang up.
"Why don't you just turn your alarm off?" Jasper quizzed.
"No I- I am trying! Just-" she stood up and pointed at y/n's door. "C- ugh can I?"
"Sure mi Casa y tu Casa"
Charlotte moved one foot after another, quickly leaving the room of her friend.
"What is your problem?" Charlotte immediately whisper yelled after locking the door to the bathroom.
"Hey char"
"What??"
"Where are you?"
"At y/n's why"
"Why are you with her?" He wondered.
"Because we're...friends? What?"
"Yeah yeah I know but what are you doing there? It's one a.m."
"Jasper, y/n and I are having a girls night"
"Why did she not invite me?" Henry questioned, completely forgetting why he called.
"Well you weren't in school today and I said you were sick and she didn't want to invite you because she wanted you to rest."
"Oh- she cares about me?-"
"Henry!" Schwoz called in the background.
"Yeah yeah, so char, we want you to be here tomorrow morning because we are going to contact her."
"Ugh, why can't you wait till noon or something?"
"Alright, noon then. Say hi to jasper and y/n."
"You know that you are calling through my watch?"
„So?"
„Oh right, I just tell them that I have a special watch that I can call people through a hologram."
„Okay, okay, alright I understood. Anyway, see you tomorrow."
